Abstract: An endurance test is carried out after judgment models are created from normal data obtained from test apparatus while operating stably and presence and absence of abnormality in a target object is judged from waveform data obtained during the test and by using the created judgment models. An aid device creates such judgment models automatically by creating divided waveform data by dividing obtained waveform data into portions of unit time, obtaining characteristic quantities in units of the divided waveform data based on a plurality of the divided waveform data for the unit time. The judgment models are created for the unit time based on the obtained characteristic quantities.

Abstract: To inspect a status of an inspection object by using an inspection apparatus for extracting amount of characteristic to an inputted waveform signal and determining a status on the basis of the extracted amount of characteristic. Specifically, the inspection apparatus uses a normal knowledge that is generated on the basis of only the data of a normal status at an initial stage to determine whether or not the status of the inspection object complies with the normal status. The inspection apparatus generates an abnormal kind knowledge by abnormal kind on the basis of the data of an abnormal status that are collected in accordance with repeat of the determination, and then, determines the status by using the normal knowledge and the abnormal kind knowledge.

Abstract: To inspect a status of an inspection object by using an inspection apparatus for extracting amount of characteristic to an inputted waveform signal and determining a status on the basis of the extracted amount of characteristic. Specifically, the inspection apparatus uses a normal knowledge that is generated on the basis of only the data of a normal status at an initial stage to determine whether or not the status of the inspection object complies with the normal status (S1, S2). The inspection apparatus generates an abnormal kind knowledge by abnormal kind on the basis of the data of an abnormal status that are collected in accordance with repeat of the determination (S3 to S6), and then, determines the status by using the normal knowledge and the abnormal kind knowledge (S7). If a defective product is eliminated due to change of design or the like, determining the status on the basis of a new normal knowledge, a mass production shifts to a stable period of mass production (S8 to S10).
